April 22 2010 – Beeld newspaper, PRETORIA. Afrikaner smallholder Mrs Suna Steenberg, 43, has been in a coma ever since she was shot twice in the head during an armed attack at their Kameelfontein Pretoria smallholding on April 15 2010, reports Hilda Fourie. Her husband Jurie has been guarding her bedside in the intensive-care unit of the Montana hospital ever since he found her critically injured after the attack.

He says although she’s in a coma she breathes on her own and her blood-pressure is stable. Jurie came across his wife shortly after the attack – he wasn’t present when it happened. All he knew was that ‘there were many shots fired and my wife was shot at a fire close distance. They must also have assaulted her terribly because of her front teeth are broken and her face is badly bruised.’ She was shot in the head, hand and leg. NOTHING WAS ROBBED. He says he’s convinced that she can hear him – he talks to her all the time. Jurie was the first on the scene after hearing his mom Poppie Steenberg 75, call for help.He said he also wants to thank the Kameeldrift police station, the Advanced Paramedic Assist-emergency service, the local Leeuwfontein Area Protection Action group (GBA); the residents and the personnel at Montana Hospital.http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Vrou-in-koma-sedert-sy-in-hoeweaanval-geskiet-is-20100422

REDDERSBURG – FREE STATE - An 18-year-old black male was arrested yesterday for stealing her handgun and trying to shoot Afrikaans farmer Mrs Heilie Labuschagne, 38,near Reddersburg in the Free State. Lt-Col Thandi Mbambo said Mrs Labuschagne was ready to go to Bloemfontein Wednesday - but had left her handbag and the car keys inside her bakkie to fetch something from the house on Wednesday morning. An 18-year-old male who’d worked for her for four months - described as a ‘teen’ by the SAPS, apparently snatched her firearm from her bag, and tried to shoot Mrs Labuschagne twice. She was very lucky: the gun did not fire.

“As she was locking the back door, she was pushed back into the house by one of her employees, who had earlier stolen a firearm from her bag.’ Mbambo said the man apparently tried to shoot Labuschagne twice, but the firearm failed. Another employee came to the Afrikaner farmer’s assistance and the attacker then also fired a shot in the helper's direction but it missed. Mbambo said the worker fled in Labuschagne's Ford Ranger and the police and neighbouring farmers were called to guard all exit routes. Police said the fleeing man was apprehended about 10km from the scene by a neighbouring farmer. The stolen firearm was found in his possession.The man had allegedly worked on the farm for four months. His remand appearance is scheduled for Reddersburg Magistrate's Court - on charges of attempted murder, theft of a vehicle and theft of a firearm and ammunition. – Sapahttp://www.iol.co.za/index.php?from=rss_Crime%20And%20Courts&set_id=1&click_id=15&art_id=nw20100422092018240C195151

PLETTENBERG BAY, GARDEN ROUTE. Die Burger newspaper reports that Beverly Sapphire, 46, the manager of the upmarket Lookout Deck restaurant in the popular tourist resort of Plettenberg Bay along the Garden Route has been shot dead during an attack by an armed group of men. It’s not certain whether anything was stolen.

The rural ocean-side restaurant was built in 1993 by owners Chris and Pippa Stroebel. Plettenberg Bay is one of South Africa's premier tourist destinations with ‘seriously rich” people flying there for their holidays – even flying in their maids to holiday with them.

The SAPS has confirmed that the attack was carried out against the world-famous restaurant Lookout Deck restaurant, which has one of the world’s most stunning views of the Indian Ocean and a popular spot for whale- and dolphin waters. Mrs Sapphire was shot in the chest and died on the scene.

The parents of the Grade-Ten pupil - whose names police did not reveal – had heard the girl screaming at around 06:45. She’d walked to the busstop alone. The father rushed to the scene and found a man seated on top of his daughter. “The man jumped up and attacked the father with a knife. He managed to get away to seek help,’ said Ao Sylvester de Long, of the Villiersdorp SAPS. After the father returned with other farm workers to the scene they searched for her – and found her lifeless body dumped in a ravine next too a river. Police are searching for neighbour named Aäron Setona, about 25, whom they believe can assist them in their enquiries and who has since not been seen. The investigating officer is det.const.

(Note: we do not list Alicia Muller on our murder-list of farm attacks because the modus operandus is not the same as those of the militia-style armed gang-attacks which are being recorded on that list. http://www.nuus24.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Pa-hoor-dogter-se-hulpkrete-voor-moord-20100421

Pupils stone robber to death, Umbumbulu, Zululand

Johannesburg – SAPS brig Phindile Radebe said a large group of pupils turned on three armed robbers on Thursday at their school in Umbumbulu, Zululand – and started stoning the thugs, chasing two off and killing one. Radebe said ‘the suspects, armed with a knife and a gun, tried to steal the pupils’ cellphones at their school. The children fought back and threw the suspects with stones. Two fled, but the third one couldn’t get away and died on the scene.’ It wasn’t reported by SAPA whether anybody was arrested for this rough mob justice. – Sapa http://www.nuus24.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Skoolkinders-gooi-dief-met-klippe-dood-20100422

“Racial tensions increased significantly (… ) this appears to be as a result of incitement by the ruling African National Congress to 'shoot and kill' the Afrikaner ethnic minority in the country. The anxiety around this incitement may well have influenced opinions across the broader white community. What appears to be the case is that much of the racial rapprochement that characterised the first 15 years of South Africa's democracy is being undone.”

ANC youth leader Malema lauds Mugabe, says SA will copy Zimbabwe's land seizuresby Sunday Times 4 April 2010 - ANC Youth League President Julius Malema yesterday endorsed Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's economic policies - threatening to take Mugabe’s indigenisation campaign to South Africa – specifically to nationalise white-owned farms and mines. In a fiery speech at a netball complex in Harare's Mbare township, Malema told a cheering 2,000-strong crowd of Zanu-PF youth (Mugabe supporters) that after his visit to Zimbabwe he was going to intensify his campaign for the confiscation of farms and mines in South Africa.

Calling the ANC to order at international tribunal: ‘Kill Boer, Shoot Boer’ murder-campaign affects the security of all South Africans… of all races’

- Afrikaans newspaper Volksblad - 2010-04-20 Comment, editorial:

April 20 2010 – BLOEMFONTEIN. “When the ANC will have to defend themselves in front of an international court because they are conducting a murder-campaign against their own citizens - chanting freedom songs such as "Shoot the Boers' - which according to their own admission are 'used to mobilise people into action" they must also acknowledge that they are trying to protect these murderers by making it as difficult as possible to combat violence and crime countrywide. This touches the security of every law-abiding black, brown and white South African citizen - including ordinary ANC-members…”

The ANC manages this by amongst others:1. disbanding highly successful police- and crime-prevention units. 2. By insisting that police statements may only be taken in English irregardless of whether the policeman and/or complainant can ONLY speak Xhosa or Afrikaans; 3. The disarming of lawabiding citizens 4. Disbanding the successful farm-protection Commando volunteer units for farmers. 5. Breaking down police morale amongst others by the ill-advised transferring of police officers - which has already led to suicides among the SAPS -- among all the race groups. 6. Why by the way hasn't the ANC also not released the humongously large and fallow State-owned land sites for use by black farmers? Is the reason for this failure because these people don't know how to farm the land? Is that why well-fertilised, developed and highly productive farms are being confiscated for this reason?

Is Julius Malema winning the fight for control of the African National Congress?

The Daily Maverick writes: “The conflicting messages that come out of the ANC these days bring that inescapable impression of internal chaos and warring groups that manoeuvre behind the scenes, organising and re-organising, ready to pounce.

… ‘(There’s this) … feeling you get when your dad's brand new Merc goes crunch into the lamppost; with that spine-chilling realisation that the spider is actually inside the shower with you…

“We're not given to sensationalism. But this is a sensational story. It’s about how Julius Malema seems to be winning the fight for control of the ANC, about how he’s got the upper hand over President Jacob Zuma of all people. The rule of thumb in the ANC used to be, at all costs don’t cross Zuma. He’ll win. He’s the guy who beat the overwhelming odds that the power of incumbency is supposed to bring. And yet, at this moment, he looks like he's down on the floor…

(Our picture above of the Genocide Watch 2003 report dealing with the rapidly-approaching Boer Genocide at that time listed a total 1,613 white farmers killed due to ‘racial hatred’ – by April 20 2010 the total had soared past 3,350. If Julius Malema has gained the ascendancy in South Africa, his campaign of genocidal hate-speech will continue. He’s been inciting tens of thousands of youths from public platforms to “Shoot the Boers’ and “Kill the Boers’…The picture above right shows township kids in Durban beibng taught the ‘’execution game’- to kill their enemies with just one single headshot.

A hotel in Somerset West is denying responsibility for a Dutch tourist's alleged rape inside her room. The 62-year-old woman is claiming just over R1,75-million in damages, citing negligence by the management and owners of the Lord Charles Hotel, Krasnapolsky Hotels. But the hotel group has demanded a security fee of R200 000 before the case can reach court.In court papers, she reports arriving on March 8, 2008 with a group of Dutch tourists and stayed in a ground floor room. During the early hours of March 9, the woman states in court papers, a man entered her room, tied her up, gagged her and raped her twice without using a condom.http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?from=rss_Crime%20And%20Courts&set_id=1&click_id=15&art_id=vn20100421043732327C154254

SAPS not available to rescue Afrikaner farm-attack victims Karel Griessel and his two daughters from armed gang attack - Klerkskraal

(picture” a large ‘flash protest’ group wore these t-shirts at Johannesburg International Airport in April 16 2010 to object to the constant stream of genocidal hatespeech emanating from the ANC-leadership and especially Cosatu and the ruling party’s youth leader – basically questioning whether the youths now attacking so many Afrikaner families since Malema started his hate-speech campaign, would even know the difference between European tourists and Afrikaner-Boers?)

-----------------------------

The Freedom Front Plus said in a news release that the gruesome farm-attack targetting the family of Mr Karel Griessel including his two daughters ‘is just another example that violence has spiralled out of control’. The FF said that the Klerkskraal police station – which is in de jurisdictional zone of the farm – could not be reached by telephone nor by radio and ‘it appeared as if the members of the SAPS there were either asleep are not available’throught the horrendous attack on this family.’ Mr Griessel was shot and seriously injured.

The FF statement continued: “This (lack of police-availability) is totally unacceptable and we have asked police minister Nathi Mthethwa to urgently intervene – such lax behaviour – a total failure to respond to an emergency in which citizens were being attacked by armed gangsters – is one of the main reasons why criminals are unafraid of the police or of being punished and caught.’

“The farming community once again had to rely on their own abilities to rush out to help Mr Griessel survive the attack By the time the police at Potchefstroom – another police station – were alerted and called out, it was far too late to chase down the attackers. The number of farm attacks in North West are increasing alarmingly and we are directly blaming this on the hate-speech by ANC youth leader Julius Malema as well as from the Cosatu branch leaders in the province,” said FF plus provincial leader Pieter Groenewald.

“The minister of police is going to have to provide answers as to why the Klerkskraal police just happened to be unavailable at the time of this attack. It’s inaction like this which causes the violent atmosphere in our country to flourish – while Cosatu is constantly inciting racial hatred towards the white community in its ongoing attempts to justify attacks against farmers as if it is the farmers who are carrying out racist hate-crimes.”

Trouble Ahead in South Africa: “Another is the greatly enhanced role of "war vets" -- veterans of the ANC's armed struggle against apartheid. Worryingly, as in Zimbabwe, many of those who dress up in army fatigues and carry out war dances and marches are actually far too young to have served in the armed struggle, which ended 18 years ago. This raises the specter that we may be seeing the creation of a group of party "storm troopers" to be used as bullies and enforcers, on the Mugabe model. Moreover, particularly among the hypermilitant ANC Youth League, there is a great deal of violent language, with promises to "die for Zuma" and even "shoot to kill for Zuma." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122955106926815575.html

2009-04-16 16:03 Cabinet has approved the controversial draft Constitution 17th amendment bill, which further empowers national government to intervene at local government level.

April 20 2009 at 05:08PM Ramatuku Maphutha, deputy national secretary of the Military Veterans' Association of Umkhonto we Sizwe, stated that MK soldiers were deployed all over South Africa and were waiting to be activated in the trenches to fight the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) unless the complaints against Jacob Zuma were withdrawn. He allegedly said that MK would not hesitate to take Zuma to the Union Buildings with violence, and added: "No Zuma, no country".http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=nw20090420170157572C467261

If we tell you to go home, you go home," screamed one supporter. Titus Dagane was seen screaming at a group of white police officers, telling them they were going to be killed, as the driver of his car edged past a police vehicle. "We don't like white cops. We are going to kill you," he said. http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=3086&art_id=vn20090423063418922C640382\

2009-11-10 14:48 The government will not abandon its aim of transferring 30% of land to black owners because failure to redistribute posed the risk of Zimbabwe-style polarisation, Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform Gugile Nkwinti said. Officials are working on a new draft of an expropriation bill that would have facilitated the seizure of land from white farmers unwilling to sell, after withdrawing it because of constitutional concerns. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Govt-obsessed-by-land-goal-20091110

January 22 2010 at 04:35PM Malema - "those who have oppressed us" should be pressed to show remorse and accept that African leadership was ruling the country.

[obviously this guy has never heard of Nazi Germany??] The catalogue of its monstrous activities exceeded the atrocious bestial level of psychopaths, bandits and war criminals. Heaping praise on De Klerk is sheer profligacy, hypocrisy, silly and selling out.

However, the ANCYL said the visit - hosted by the Zanu-PF Youth - was about "strengthening relations with former liberation movements". "This visit is about forces with a common history coming together to ensure that we take control of our resources for the benefit of the majority.

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups... '
